TEV Home

What is the TEV Project?

1. Research and development of a small model car powered by the Seebeck Effect.
2. Generation of electricity using a thermoelectric generator powered by the heat from an exothermic chemical reaction.
3. Small team inquiry conducted over several months by students at Lee-Davis High School in Mechanicsville, VA.
4. Project Based Learning tool for teaching chemistry SOLs through an authentic engineering situation requiring 21st Century skills.

Prototype with Solar Panel (to be replaced)

The purposes of the Wiki are:

1. Serve as a record (online lab notebook) of student research on the TEV project.
2. Communicate information to the community (classmates, schoolmates, county, state and the world).
3. Provide a resource for other researchers seeking information on the use of thermoelectric generators to power vehicles.
